Antique 1920s Step-In Chemise - Palest Peach Silk with Chiffon Ruffles by Nanette Underthings

This antique 1920s step-in chemise has never been worn and was made from a very pale peach silk material with a high luster that glistens beautifully. Thin silk ribbon straps with pin tuck detail at the center chest which offers a subtle bit of decor. This little teddy offers the iconic silhouette with a straight cut that slims the figure, while a flattering angled cut waist outlined with faggoted stitching. A cheeky high cut at the sides and lower angled cut down the center of the skirt that is beautifully adorned with ruffled silk chiffon. A ribbon gusset crotch hides underneath the skirt, closing with two little buttons which makes this piece easy to slip in and out of.
